Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
What is heat strain?
heat strain or the thermal strain is caused due to the temperature changes. A solid body expands as the temperature increases and contracts as the temperature decreases.this causes the thermal strain. for a homogeneous and isotropic body the thermal strain is caused by change in temperature. thermal strain = coefficient of linear thermal expansion * change in temperature where the coefficient of linear thermal expansion gives the strain per degree of temperature.
What is the difference between temperature and heat energy?
the difference between heat energy and temperature are math, physics, chemistry, and dates.
What do you add to kinetic energy to increase heat?
This doesn't really make sense. If you apply heat to a substance you increase the kinetic energy of its particles, which we perceive as an increase in temperature.
Why should the coefficient of thermal expansion of a refractory metal be the lowest?
refractory metals have high melting points and are used in extremely hot environments; if expansion coefficient is lower this prevents high stresses that can develop due to thermal gradients during the high heat up. It helps to have high thermal conductivity as well
What is an increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the substance's temperature?
boyles law describes how when temperature rises the volume rises
How heat move'?
Thermal energy that can move from one substance to another is called heat. Heat always moves from a warmer substance to a cooler one. An increase in temperature means that heat moves into a substance.
What is the expansion meaning of eta?
That usually means that when you heat a substance, it will expand - its volume will increase.
What is the form of energy that is produced by the movement of molecules in a substance?
It's called thermal energy, and it manifests itself as an increase of temperature.
Liquids expansion by heat?
Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
What is required to cause something to melt?
Melting is a change of state of a substance caused by an increase in thermal energy, so heat is required to melt a substance.
How heat is directly proportional to thermal expans ion?
That means that for twice the heat, you'll get twice the thermal expansion.
Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
When Copper gets longer from heat - what is this called?
thermal expansion
What thermal energy moving from one substance to another?
Heat is thermal energy moving from one substance to another.
Does heat increase or decrease thermal energy?
increase
What is the movement of thermal energy from a substance at a high temperature to a substance at a lower temperature called?
Heat
